National Lager Day
On December 10th, raises a glass to the third most popular drink after water and tea. Although lager is traditionally described as a light, summer beer, we believe that every season deserves to be celebrated with a few of your favorite things.
Lagers are distinguished from other beers by using a cold-conditioning process.. The types of yeast used are often described as "bottom-fermenting" yeast or yeast that can grow at colder temperatures. Brewers perfected this process in cellars dug into the ground and filled with ice long before the invention of refrigeration. Those who tasted the delectable results described the lager as "crisp" and "refreshing." It's no wonder that this technique has thrived and produced a large number of brews synonymous with regional and national brands.
With so many choices from pale, amber, or dark, not to mention the numerous craft styles, there are endless possibilities for your pleasure. So, grab some friends and enjoy this midwinter season with the taste of Summer.
